Emotions

Generally speaking, I would not categorize myself as an emotional person. Logic or spontaneity controls my life, but lately I have been trying to be more in touch with that "feelings" side of me. These are some of the emotions I have noticed myself experiencing in the past few days:

surprise: five minutes ago when i looked down at the tickling sensation on my leg and saw a moderately large black spider slowly creeping across my thigh 

despair: when i forgot my friend's bridal shower. she came all the way from Harvard and i couldn't even make it across the island

satisfaction: realizing i don't like to capitalize a lot of things in informal writing.    ...and then realizing I don't have to. 

confusion: stumbling across more wedding pictures of girls younger than me that are married. if i'm not old enough to get married... how the heck are they old enough?! 

amusement: seeing that I wrote that my life was controlled by logic or spontaneity. i'm a walking contradiction 

joy: driving fast with the windows down in the summertime heat, rockin some beats with my homies

annoyance: things that unnecessarily cramp my style

curiosity: realizing i'm homeless and still jobless in two weeks.

loneliness: my birthday is tomorrow

I love your writing! :) I'm also confused at younger girls getting married, and I am pretty sure that we are all walking contradictions.

Your joy and annoyance descriptions sound like two lines from a Fergie song.
